I'm getting a Barbaro Breyer Model Horse in July and since I happened to have some yarn that was the same color as the saddle cloth he wore in the Kentucky Derby, I made a saddle cloth for when I get the model horse. The other day I used black yarn and a yarn needle and put an 8 on it because that's the number cloth he wore.

This is one of my other Breyers, Painted Nevada, modeling it.

I also got a Klutz knitting book from the library and I made the coin purse from it.

Great job!
I made that little purse too to learn stockinette, and have yet to sew on the button and the sides. :teehee:
